Hi Jim, Thanks for taking the time to do this testing, and posting your results.
A quick question; I note that your results for S30V ended up in two different categories.
Category 3, and I'm assuming the Rockwell hardness is in parenthesis, of (60)?
Again I find S30V in category 5, with a Rockwell hardness of (58.5)?
Did I miss something, or is this just the way the testing worked out with two separate examples?
Thanks.

RC hardness will make a huge difference in performance.
S30V at 58.5 RC and 60 RC is like testing 2 different steels, blades were the same shape, grind, edge profile etc.
